1.13. “Business Days” are Monday through Friday of each week, exclusive of New Year’s Day, Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day (the “Holidays”). Landlord may designate additional Holidays that are designated as new Federal holidays. “Building Service Hours” are 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. on Business Days and 9:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. on Saturdays, exclusive of Holidays.

1.14. “Property” means the Building and the parcel(s) of land on which it is located and, at Landlord’s discretion, the parking facilities and other improvements, if any, serving the Building and the parcel(s) of land on which they are located (the maintenance and repair of which such parking facilities shall be included in Expenses).

2. Lease Grant.

The Premises are hereby leased to Tenant from Landlord, together with the right to use any portions of the Property that are from time to time designated by Landlord for the common use of tenants and others, including, without limitation, the conference spaces serving the Building (the “Common Areas”). Nothing contained herein shall affect Landlord’s right to add to, subtract from, or alter the Common Areas, so long as the same does not materially adversely affect Tenant’s access to the Premises.

3. Possession.

Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, the Premises are accepted by Tenant in “as is” condition and configuration without any representations or warranties by Landlord. By taking possession of the Premises, Tenant agrees and Landlord represents that the Premises are in good order and satisfactory condition and that the Building systems serving the Premises (including, without limitation, the HVAC system) are in good order and satisfactory condition as of the Execution Date of this Lease. Tenant shall have the right to take possession of the Premises as of the Execution Date of this Lease and the delivery of the Security Deposit and Guaranty to Landlord. Such possession shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Except for the cost of services requested by Tenant (e.g., freight elevator usage and the cost of electric service to the Premises as provided in Section 7.02 below), Tenant shall not be required to pay Rent for any days of possession before the Commencement Date during which Tenant, with the approval of Landlord, is deemed to be in possession of the Premises for the sole purpose of performing improvements or installing furniture, equipment or other personal property. Tenant shall have the right to use the freight elevators serving the Building during the performance of the Initial Alterations (as defined in Exhibit C) and during Tenant’s move into the Premises. Within ten (10) days after the Execution Date of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall together conduct an inspection of the Premises and prepare a “punch list” setting forth any items that are not in conformity as required by the terms of this Lease. Landlord shall use good faith efforts to correct all such items within a reasonable time following the completion of the punch list.

4. Rent.

Tenant shall pay Landlord, without any setoff or deduction, unless expressly set forth in this Lease, all Base Rent and Additional Rent due for the Term (collectively referred to as

“Rent”). “Additional Rent” means all sums (exclusive of Base Rent) that Tenant is required to pay Landlord under this Lease. Tenant shall pay and be liable for all rental, sales and use taxes (but excluding income taxes), if any, imposed upon or measured by Rent. Base Rent and recurring monthly charges of Additional Rent shall be due and payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month without notice or demand, provided that the installment of Base Rent for the first full calendar month of the Term, and the first monthly installment of Additional Rent for Expenses and Taxes, shall be payable upon the execution of this Lease by Tenant. All other items of Rent shall be due and payable by Tenant on or before thirty (30) days after billing by Landlord. Rent shall be made payable to the entity, and sent to the address, Landlord designates and shall be made by good and sufficient check or by other means acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall pay Landlord an administration fee equal to three percent (3%) of all payments of Rent that are not paid within five (5) days of the date thereof; provided, however, that the first time, if any, in any calendar year that Tenant fails timely to pay Rent, the foregoing administrative fee shall not accrue or become payable unless such failure continues for five (5) days after notice to Tenant thereof. In addition, past due Rent shall accrue interest at twelve percent (12%) per annum from the due date until actually paid. Landlord’s acceptance of less than the correct amount of Rent shall be considered a payment on account of the earliest Rent due. Rent for any partial month during the Term shall be prorated. No endorsement or statement on a check or letter accompanying payment shall be considered an accord and satisfaction. Tenant’s covenant to pay Rent is independent of every other covenant in this Lease. Tenant’s payment of Rent shall not be construed as a waiver of Tenant’s rights arising under the Lease; Tenant’s preserves all rights and remedies, including all right of offsets or abatement provided under the Lease, notwithstanding payment of Rent.

Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Taxes and Expenses in accordance with Exhibit B of this Lease.

5. Compliance with Laws; Use.

The Premises shall be used for the Permitted Use and for no other use whatsoever. Tenant shall comply with all statutes, codes, ordinances, orders, rules and regulations of any municipal or governmental entity whether in effect now or later, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (the “Law(s)”), regarding the operation of Tenant’s business and the use, condition, configuration, and occupancy of the Premises. In addition, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with any Laws that relate to the “Base Building” (defined below), but only to the extent such obligations are triggered by Tenant’s use of the Premises, other than for general office use, or Alterations or improvements in the Premises performed or requested by Tenant. “Base Building” shall include the structural portions of the Building, the public restrooms, and the Building mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems and equipment located in the internal core of the Building on the floor or floors on which the Premises are located. Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with copies of any notices it receives regarding an alleged violation of Law. Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations of the Building attached as Exhibit E and such other reasonable rules and regulations adopted by Landlord from time to time, which (a) are provided to Tenant in advance in writing, (b) do not alter the terms of this Lease, (c) do not substantially interfere with Tenant’s exercise of its rights under the Lease, and (d) are enforced in a non-discriminatory manner, including rules and regulations for the performance of Alterations (defined in Section 9). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in

this Lease contained, Landlord agrees that it will not enforce any rules and regulations against Tenant in a discriminatory or arbitrary manner. In the event of a conflict between the rules and regulations for the Building and the terms of this Lease, the terms of the Lease shall control. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce such rules and regulations upon the written request of Tenant. As of the date hereof, Landlord has not received notice from any governmental agencies that the Building is in violation of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Landlord hereby represents to Tenant that, to Landlord’s actual knowledge, the Building and the Property are, as of the Execution Date, in compliance with applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for correcting any violations of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”) with respect to the Premises and the Property promptly after receipt of notice of same, provided that Landlord’s obligation with respect to the Premises shall be limited to violations that exist in the Premises prior to the installation of any furniture, equipment and other personal property of Tenant. Landlord represents that Landlord has no knowledge of any outstanding violations of the ADA with respect to the Premises or the Property as of the Execution Date of this Lease. Landlord represents that, as of the Execution Date, the Premises are zoned for office use.

6. Security Deposit.

The Security Deposit shall be delivered to Landlord upon the execution of this Lease by Tenant and held by Landlord without liability for interest (unless required by Law) as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations. The Security Deposit is not an advance payment of Rent or a measure of damages. Landlord may use all or a portion of the Security Deposit to cure any Default (defined in Section 18) by Tenant. If Landlord uses any portion of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after demand, restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Landlord shall return any unapplied portion of the Security Deposit to Tenant within forty-five (45) days after the later to occur of: (a) determination of the final Rent due from Tenant; or (b) the later to occur of the Termination Date or the date Tenant surrenders the Premises to Landlord in compliance with Section 25. Landlord may assign the Security Deposit to a successor or transferee and, following the assignment, Landlord shall have no further liability for the return of the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its other accounts.

The Security Deposit shall be in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”), which Letter of Credit shall: (a) be in the initial amount of $112,000.00; (b) be issued on the form attached hereto as Exhibit G; (c) name Landlord as its beneficiary; and (d) be drawn on an FDIC insured financial institution reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord that satisfies both the Minimum Rating Agency Threshold and the Minimum Capital Threshold (as those terms are defined below) (the “Issuing Bank”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby approves Comerica Bank as the Issuing Bank. The “Minimum Rating Agency Threshold” shall mean that the Issuing Bank has outstanding unsecured, uninsured and unguaranteed senior long-term indebtedness that is then rated (without regard to qualification of such rating by symbols such as “+” or “-” or numerical notation) “Baa” or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. and/or “BBB” or better by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, or a comparable rating by a comparable national rating agency designated by Landlord in its discretion. The “Minimum Capital Threshold” shall mean that the Issuing Bank has combined capital, surplus and undivided profits of not less than $10,000,000,000. The Letter of Credit (and any renewals or

replacements thereof) shall be for a term of not less than one (1) year. If the issuer of the Letter of Credit gives notice of its election not to renew such Letter of Credit for any additional period, Tenant shall be required to deliver a substitute Letter of Credit satisfying the conditions hereof at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the term of such Letter of Credit. If the issuer of the Letter of Credit fails to satisfy either or both of the Minimum Rating Agency Threshold or the Minimum Capital Threshold, Tenant shall be required to deliver a substitute letter of credit from another issuer reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord and that satisfies both the Minimum Rating Agency Threshold and the Minimum Capital Threshold not later than ten (10) Business Days after Landlord notifies Tenant of such failure. Tenant agrees that it shall from time to time, as necessary, whether as a result of a draw on the Letter of Credit by Landlord pursuant to the terms hereof or as a result of the expiration of the Letter of Credit then in effect, renew or replace the original and any subsequent Letter of Credit so that a Letter of Credit, in the amount required hereunder, is in effect until a date which is at least sixty (60) days after the Termination Date of the Lease. If Tenant fails to furnish such renewal or replacement at least sixty (60) days prior to the stated expiration date of the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord, Landlord may draw upon such Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds thereof (and such proceeds need not be segregated) as a Security Deposit pursuant to the terms of this Section 6. Any renewal or replacement of the original or any subsequent Letter of Credit shall meet the requirements for the original Letter of Credit as set forth above, except that such replacement or renewal shall be issued by a national bank reasonably satisfactory to Landlord at the time of the issuance thereof.

If Landlord draws on the Letter of Credit as permitted in this Lease or the Letter of Credit, then, within ten (10) Business Days after notice to Tenant thereof, Tenant shall restore the amount available under the Letter of Credit to its original amount by providing Landlord with an amendment to the Letter of Credit evidencing that the amount available under the Letter of Credit has been restored to its original amount.

Subject to the remaining terms of this Section 6, and provided that no Default exists as of the effective date of the reduction of the Security Deposit (“Reduction Condition”), Tenant shall have the right to reduce the amount of the Security Deposit (i.e., the Letter of Credit) so that the reduced Letter of Credit amount will be $45,000.00 effective as of September 30, 2016. Tenant shall only have the right to reduce the Security Deposit (i.e., the Letter of Credit) if and when the Reduction Condition has been met. Any reduction in the Letter of Credit shall be accomplished by Tenant providing Landlord with a substitute letter of credit in the reduced amount whereupon Landlord shall forthwith return the Letter of Credit previously held by Landlord.

7. Building Services.

7.01. Landlord shall furnish Tenant with the following services consistent with the quality of operations of similar first-class suburban office buildings in the Boston/Metro West market area: (a) water for use in the Base Building lavatories; (b) customary heat and air conditioning in season during Building Service Hours; provided that Tenant shall have the right to receive HVAC service during hours other than Building Service Hours by paying Landlord’s then standard charge for additional HVAC service so long as Tenant requests same by written notice to Landlord not later than 12:00 noon on the Business Day preceding the day of such overtime usage; (c) standard janitorial service on Business Days in accordance with the cleaning

specifications attached hereto as Exhibit J; (d) elevator service; (e) electricity in accordance with the terms and conditions in Section 7.02; and (f) such other services as Landlord reasonably determines are necessary or appropriate for the Property. As of the date hereof, Landlord’s charge for after-Building Service Hours heating service is $75.00 per hour, and Landlord’s charge for after-Building Service Hours air conditioning service is $75.00 per hour, in each case for the entire Premises, subject to increase from time to time commensurate with increases to Landlord’s actual out-of-pocket costs for providing such service. Access to the Building for Tenant and its employees shall be available twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, subject to the terms of this Lease and such security or monitoring systems as Landlord may reasonably impose, including, without limitation, sign-in procedures and/or presentation of identification cards.

7.02. (a) Electricity shall be distributed to the Premises either by the electric utility company selected by Landlord to provide electricity service for the Building or, at Landlord’s option, by Landlord; and Landlord shall permit Landlord’s wires and conduits, to the extent available, suitable and safely capable, to be used for such distribution. If and so long as Landlord is distributing electricity to the Premises, Tenant shall obtain all of its electricity from Landlord and shall pay all of Landlord’s charges therefor. Such charges will be based on Landlord’s actual cost of such electrical service based upon a submeter measuring usage in the Premises, which submeter shall be installed by Tenant, at Tenant’s cost, as part of the Initial Alterations (defined in Exhibit C). If the electric utility company selected by Landlord to provide electricity service for the Building is distributing electricity to the Premises, Landlord may elect to require Tenant, at its cost, to make all necessary arrangements with such electric utility company for metering and paying directly to the utility provider for electric current furnished to the Premises. All electricity used during the performance of janitorial service, or the making of any alterations or repairs in or to the Premises, or the operation of any special air conditioning system serving the Premises, shall be paid by Tenant, as and if evidenced on the reading of the submeter.

Landlord has advised Tenant that presently National Grid (the “Electric Service Provider”) is the electric utility company selected by Landlord to provide electricity service for the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord reserves the right at any time and from time to time before or during the Term to either contract for electric service from a different company or companies providing electricity service (each such company shall hereinafter be referred to as an “Alternative Service Provider”) or continue to contract for electricity service from the Electric Service Provider, provided such service is at commercially reasonable rates. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord, the Electric Service Provider and any Alternative Service Provider at all times and, as reasonably necessary, shall allow Landlord, the Electric Service Provider and any Alternative Service Provider reasonable access to the Building’s electric lines, feeders, risers, wiring and other machinery within the Premises.

(b) Without the consent of Landlord, Tenant’s use of electrical service shall not exceed, either in voltage, rated capacity, use beyond Building Service Hours or overall load that which Landlord reasonably deems to be standard for the Building. Landlord shall have the right to measure electrical usage by commonly accepted methods.

7.03. Landlord’s failure to furnish, or any interruption, diminishment or termination of services due to the application of Laws, the failure of any equipment, the performance of repairs, improvements or alterations, utility interruptions or interference with Tenant’s access to the Premises by Landlord, its agents, contractors or employees that continues after notice to Landlord thereof, or the occurrence of an event of Force Majeure (defined in Section 26.03) (collectively a “Service Failure”) shall not render Landlord liable to Tenant, constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant, give rise to an abatement of Rent, nor relieve Tenant from the obligation to fulfill any covenant or agreement. However, if, as a result of a Service Failure that is reasonably within the control of Landlord to correct, the Premises are made untenantable or not capable of Tenant’s reasonable access for a period in excess of three (3) consecutive Business Days after Tenant notifies Landlord of the Service Failure (the “Service Failure Notice”), then Tenant, as its sole remedy, shall be entitled to receive an abatement of Rent payable hereunder during the period beginning on the fourth (4th) consecutive Business Day after delivery to Landlord of the Service Failure Notice and ending on the day the service has been restored. If the entire Premises have not been rendered untenantable by the Service Failure or if the entire Premises are not reasonably accessible by Tenant, the amount of abatement shall be equitably prorated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Service Failure is reasonably within the control of Landlord and (a) continues for sixty (60) days after the Service Failure and (b) is not being diligently remedied by Landlord, then Tenant, as its sole remedy, shall have the right to elect to terminate this Lease within ten (10) days after the expiration of said sixty (60) day period without penalty, by delivering written notice to Landlord of its election thereof; provided, however, if Landlord is diligently pursuing the repair or restoration of the Service Failure, Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate the Lease but rather Tenant’s sole remedy shall be to xxxxx Rent as provided above. The foregoing termination right shall not apply if the Service Failure is due to fire or other casualty or condemnation. Instead, in such an event, the terms and provisions of Section 16 or Section 17, as the case may be, shall apply.

8. Leasehold Improvements.

All improvements in and to the Premises, including any Alterations (collectively, “Leasehold Improvements”) shall remain upon the Premises at the end of the Term without compensation to Tenant. Landlord, however, by written notice to Tenant at least thirty (30) days prior to the Termination Date, may require Tenant, at its expense, to remove (a) any Cable (defined in Section 9.01) installed by or for the benefit of Tenant for the purposes of the installation of telecommunications equipment, and (b) any Alterations that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, are of a nature that would require removal and repair costs that are materially in excess of the removal and repair costs associated with standard office improvements (collectively referred to as “Required Removables”). Required Removables shall include, without limitation, internal stairways, raised floors, personal restrooms and showers, vaults, rolling file systems and structural alterations and modifications. Landlord agrees that Initial Alterations shall not be Required Removables so long as such Initial Alterations are consistent with the schematic drawing/floorplan attached as Exhibit L (provided that the IT Room shown thereon will not contain a raised floor and that the library shown thereon will not contain any rolling file). The designated Required Removables shall be removed by Tenant before the Termination Date. Tenant shall repair damage caused by the installation or removal of Required Removables. If Tenant fails to perform its obligations in a timely manner, Landlord may perform such work at Tenant’s expense. Tenant, at the time it requests approval

for a proposed Alteration, may request in writing that Landlord advise Tenant whether the Alteration or any portion of the Alteration is a Required Removable. Within ten (10) days after receipt of Tenant’s request, Landlord shall advise Tenant in writing as to which portions of the Alteration are Required Removables. However, it is agreed that Required Removables shall not include any usual office improvements such as gypsum board, partitions, ceiling grids and tiles, fluorescent lighting panels, building standard doors and non-glued down carpeting.

9. Repairs and Alterations.

9.01. Following the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall periodically inspect the Premises to identify any conditions that are dangerous or in need of maintenance or repair. Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with notice of any such conditions. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, perform all maintenance and repairs to the Premises that are not Landlord’s express responsibility under this Lease, and keep the Premises in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty or by reason of any taking by eminent domain (subject to the terms of Section 16) excepted, provided that, subject to the provisions of Section 15, Tenant shall not be responsible for repairs and maintenance to the Premises to the extent that any damage is caused by the negligence or willful acts of Landlord or Landlord’s employees, agents or contractors or other third parties over whom Tenant has neither control nor a right of control. Tenant’s repair and maintenance obligations with respect to the Premises include, without limitation, repairs and maintenance to the following: (a) floor covering; (b) interior partitions; (c) doors; (d) the interior side of demising walls; (e) electronic, phone and data cabling and related equipment that is installed by or for the exclusive benefit of Tenant (collectively, “Cable”); (f) supplemental air conditioning units, kitchens, including hot water heaters, plumbing, and similar facilities exclusively serving Tenant; and (g) Alterations. To the extent Landlord is not reimbursed by insurance proceeds under any policy that Landlord actually carries or is required to carry under this Lease, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of repairing damage to the Building caused by the negligent or willful acts of Tenant, Tenant Related Parties and their respective contractors and vendors. If Tenant fails to make any repairs to the Premises for more than fifteen (15) days after notice from Landlord (although notice shall not be required in an emergency), Landlord may make the repairs, and Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost of the repairs, together with an administrative charge in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the cost of the repairs.

9.02. Landlord shall keep and maintain in good repair and working order and perform maintenance upon the: (a) structural elements of the Building; (b) mechanical (including HVAC), electrical, plumbing and fire/life safety systems serving the Building in general; (c) Common Areas; (d) roof of the Building, as well as downspouts and drains; (e) exterior walls and windows of the Building; and (f) elevators serving the Building. Landlord shall promptly perform maintenance and repairs for which Landlord is responsible.

9.03. From and after the Commencement Date, and continuing throughout the Term of the Lease, Tenant shall not make alterations, repairs, additions or improvements or install any Cable (collectively referred to as “Alterations”) without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Landlord’s consent is solely for the benefit of Landlord, and neither Tenant nor any third party shall have the right to rely on Landlord’s consent, or its approval of Tenant’s plans, for any

purpose whatsoever. However, Landlord’s consent shall not be required for any Alteration that satisfies all of the following criteria (a “Cosmetic Alteration”): (a) is of a cosmetic nature such as painting, wallpapering, hanging pictures and installing carpeting; (b) is not visible from the exterior of the Premises or Building; (c) will not affect the Base Building; (d) does not require work to be performed inside the walls, below the floor, or above the ceiling of the Premises and (e) the cost of such work does not exceed Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($50,000.00). Cosmetic Alterations shall be subject to all the other provisions of this Section 9.03. Prior to commencing Alterations (except for Alterations of a purely cosmetic nature such as painting, wallpapering, hanging pictures, and installing carpeting), Tenant shall furnish Landlord with plans and specifications; names of contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord (provided that Landlord may designate specific contractors with respect to Base Building); required permits and approvals; evidence of contractor’s and subcontractor’s insurance in amounts reasonably required by Landlord and naming Landlord as an additional insured; and any security for performance in amounts reasonably required by Landlord. Changes to the plans and specifications must also be submitted to Landlord for its approval. Alterations shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner using materials of a quality reasonably approved by Landlord. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any reasonable sums paid by Landlord for third party examination of Tenant’s plans for non-Cosmetic Alterations. In addition, Tenant shall pay Landlord a fee for Landlord’s oversight and coordination of any Alterations other than Cosmetic Alterations equal to five percent (5%) of the cost of the Alterations. Upon completion, Tenant shall furnish “as-built” plans for all Alterations other than Cosmetic Alterations, completion affidavits and full and final waivers of lien. Landlord’s approval of an Alteration shall not be deemed a representation by Landlord that the Alteration complies with Law.

10. Entry by Landlord.

Landlord may enter the Premises to inspect, show or clean the Premises or to perform or facilitate the performance of repairs, alterations or additions to the Premises or any portion of the Building. Except in emergencies or to provide Building services, Landlord shall provide Tenant with at least forty-eight (48) hours advance notice of entry (which may be oral) and shall use reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises. Tenant shall be entitled to have an employee of Tenant accompany the person(s) entering the Premises, provided Tenant makes such employee available at the time Landlord or such other party desires to enter the Premises. If reasonably necessary, Landlord may temporarily close all or a portion of the Premises to perform repairs, alterations and additions. However, except in emergencies, Landlord will not close the Premises if the work can reasonably be completed on weekends and after Building Service Hours. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.03, 16 and 17 hereof, entry by Landlord in accordance with this Section 10 shall not constitute a constructive eviction or entitle Tenant to an abatement or reduction of Rent. Landlord may not enter the Premises to show the Premises to prospective tenants earlier than the date that is six (6) months before the expiration or prior termination of the Term of this Lease.

11. Assignment and Subletting.

11.01. Except in connection with a Permitted Transfer (defined in Section 11.04), Tenant shall not assign, sublease, transfer or encumber any interest in this Lease or allow any third party to use any portion of the Premises (collectively or individually, a “Transfer”) without the prior

written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed for more than ten (10) Business Days if Landlord does not exercise its recapture rights under Section 11.02. If Landlord refuses to consent to such Transfer, Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant setting forth in reasonable detail the reason(s) therefor. If the entity which controls the voting shares/rights of Tenant changes at any time, such change of ownership or control shall constitute a Transfer unless Tenant is an entity whose outstanding stock is listed on a recognized securities exchange or if at least eighty percent (80%) of its voting stock is owned by another entity, the voting stock of which is so listed. Any attempted Transfer in violation of this Section is voidable by Landlord. In no event shall any Transfer, including a Permitted Transfer, release or relieve Tenant from any obligation under this Lease.

11.02. Tenant shall provide Landlord with financial statements for the proposed transferee, a fully executed copy of the proposed assignment, sublease or other Transfer documentation and such other information as Landlord may reasonably request. Within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the required information and documentation, Landlord shall either: (a) consent to the Transfer by execution of a consent agreement in a form reasonably designated by Landlord; (b) reasonably refuse to consent to the Transfer in writing; or (c) in the event of an assignment of this Lease or subletting of more than twenty percent (20%) of the Rentable Area of the Premises for substantially all of the remaining Term (excluding unexercised options), recapture the portion of the Premises that Tenant is proposing to Transfer. If Landlord exercises its right to recapture, this Lease shall automatically be amended (or terminated if the entire Premises is being assigned or sublet) to delete the applicable portion of the Premises effective on the proposed effective date of the Transfer. Tenant shall pay Landlord Landlord’s out-of-pocket fees in connection with any review of a Permitted Transfer or requested Transfer, not to exceed $2,500.00, provided that the Permitted Transfer or Transfer, as the case may be, does not require amendment to the terms of the Lease.

11.03. Except in connection with a Permitted Transfer (hereinafter defined), Tenant shall pay Landlord fifty percent (50%) of all rent and other consideration which Tenant receives as a result of a Transfer that is in excess of the Rent payable to Landlord for the portion of the Premises and Term covered by the Transfer. Tenant shall pay Landlord for Landlord’s share of the excess within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of the excess. Tenant may deduct from the excess, on a straight-line basis, all reasonable and customary expenses, including, without limitation, brokerage fees, legal fees, free rent and any tenant improvement allowance directly incurred by Tenant attributable to the Transfer. If Tenant is in Default, Landlord may require that all sublease payments be made directly to Landlord, in which case Tenant shall receive a credit against Rent in the amount of Tenant’s share of payments received by Landlord.

11.04. Tenant may assign this Lease to a successor to Tenant by purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization (an “Ownership Change”) or assign this Lease or sublet all or a portion of the Premises to an Affiliate without the consent of Landlord and without giving Landlord a recapture right pursuant to Section 11.02 above, provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied (a “Permitted Transfer”): (a) Tenant is not in Default beyond applicable notice and cure periods; (b) in the event of an Ownership Change, Tenant’s successor shall own substantially all of the assets of Tenant and have a net worth which is at least equal to Tenant’s net worth as of the day prior to the proposed Ownership Change; (c) the Permitted Use does not allow the Premises to be used for retail purposes; and (d) Tenant shall give Landlord written

notice at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the effective date of the Permitted Transfer to the extent the same is not prohibited by applicable law or any confidentiality agreement to which Tenant is a party (in which event Tenant shall notify Landlord immediately after the effective date of any such transfer). Tenant’s notice to Landlord shall include information and documentation evidencing the Permitted Transfer and showing that each of the above conditions has been satisfied. If requested by Landlord, Tenant’s successor shall sign a commercially reasonable form of assumption agreement. “Affiliate” shall mean an entity controlled by, controlling or under common control with Tenant (for such period of time as such entity continues to be controlled by, controlling or under common control with Tenant, it being agreed that the subsequent sale or transfer of stock resulting in a change in voting control, or any other transaction(s) having the overall effect that such entity ceases to be controlled by, controlling or under common control with Tenant, shall be treated as if such sale or transfer or transaction(s) were, for all purposes, an assignment of this Lease governed by the provisions of this Section 11).

12. Liens.

Tenant shall not permit mechanics’ or other liens to be placed upon the Property, Premises or Tenant’s leasehold interest in connection with any work or service done or purportedly done by or for the benefit of Tenant or its transferees. Tenant shall give Landlord notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement of any Alterations in the Premises to afford Landlord the opportunity, where applicable, to post and record notices of non-responsibility. Tenant, within ten (10) days of notice from Landlord, shall fully discharge any lien by settlement, by bonding or by insuring over the lien in the manner prescribed by the applicable lien Law. If Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may bond, insure over or otherwise discharge the lien. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any amount paid by Landlord, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees. Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to post a performance or payment bond in connection with any Alterations other than Initial Alterations (provided that the same are performed by either X. Xxxxxx & Associates or Landlord’s construction manager) done or purportedly done by or for the benefit of Tenant if the cost of such work exceeds $200,000.00. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that all such work or service is being performed for the sole benefit of Tenant and not for the benefit of Landlord.

13. Indemnity and Waiver of Claims.

Tenant hereby waives all claims against and releases Landlord and its trustees, members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees, Mortgagees (defined in Section 23) and agents (the “Landlord Related Parties”) from all claims for damage to property or business loss in any manner related to (a) Force Majeure, (b) acts of third parties claiming by or through Tenant other than any agent or contractor of Landlord, (c) the bursting or leaking of any tank, water closet, drain or other pipe, unless due to or arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Landlord or any of Landlord’s contractors, employees, or agents, (d) the inadequacy or failure of any security services, personnel or equipment, unless due to or arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Landlord or any of Landlord’s contractors, employees, or agents, or (e) any matter not within the reasonable control of Landlord or Landlord’s employees or agents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in Section 15 to the contrary, Tenant shall not be required to waive any claims against Landlord for

damage to property or business loss where such loss or damage is due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, Landlord Related Parties or Landlord’s contractors or agents. Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any of Landlord’s contractors, employees, or agents, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and Landlord Related Parties harmless against and from all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, actions, and reasonable costs, charges and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable professional fees (if and to the extent permitted by Law) (collectively referred to as “Losses”), which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Landlord or any of the Landlord Related Parties by any third party and arising out of or in connection with any damage or injury occurring in the Premises or any acts or omissions (including violations of Law) of Tenant, the Tenant Related Parties or any of Tenant’s transferees, contractors, licensees, employees or agents. Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Related Parties or any of Tenant’s transferees, contractors, licensees, employees or agents, Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant, its trustees, members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, and employees (“Tenant Related Parties”) harmless against and from all Losses which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Tenant or any of the Tenant Related Parties by any third party and arising out of or in connection with the acts or omissions (including violations of Law) of Landlord, the Landlord Related Parties or any of Landlord’s contractors, employees or agents. Nothing herein shall be construed as to diminish the repair and maintenance obligations of Landlord contained elsewhere in this Lease or Tenant’s rights under Section 7.03. Any obligations under this Section 13 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Term of this Lease. The provisions of this Section 13 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 15 below.

14. Insurance.

(a) Tenant’s Insurance. Tenant shall obtain, and shall keep in full force and effect, the following insurance, with insurers that are authorized to do business in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and are rated at least A (Class X) in Best’s Key Rating Guide:

(v) Excess or Umbrella Liability Insurance with limits of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence and in the aggregate providing coverage excess and follow-form of the primary general and employer’s liability insurances required hereinto.

(vi) Such other insurance as Landlord reasonably deems necessary and prudent, provided that such other insurance is then customarily required to be carried by tenants of buildings similar to the Building in the Boston/Metro West market area, or as may be required in writing by any Mortgagee (defined below), but only to the extent such Mortgagee has the contractual right to require same under its mortgage or related loan documents.

(vii) In addition to the above aforementioned insurances, and during any such time as any alterations or work is being performed at the Premises (except that work being performed by the Landlord or on behalf of Landlord) Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall carry, or shall cause to be carried and shall deliver to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to commencement of any such alteration or work, evidence of insurance with respects to (a) workers compensation insurance covering all persons employed in connection with the proposed alteration or work in statutory limits, (b) general/excess liability insurance, in an amount commensurate with the work to be performed but not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence and in the aggregate, for ongoing and completed operations insuring against bodily injury and property damage and naming all additional insured parties as outlined below and required of Tenant and shall include a waiver of subrogation in favor of such parties, (c) builders risk insurance, to the extent such alterations or work may require, on a completed value form including permission to occupy, covering all physical loss or damages, in an amount and kind reasonable

(b) Policy Requirements. The policies of insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Section 14 must be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and must be written as primary policy coverage and not contributing with, or in excess of, any coverage carried by Landlord. All policies must name Tenant as the named insured party (it is understood and agreed that Tenant’s parent company may be first named insured on various policies, but that coverage extends to the interest of Tenant) and (except for worker’s compensation and property insurance) all policies shall name as additional insureds for on-going and completed operations, Landlord, Normandy Real Estate Partners, LLC, Normandy Real Estate Management Co., LLC, the Mortgagees under any Mortgage defined below, and all of their respective affiliates, members, officers, employees, agents and representatives, managing agents, and other designees of Landlord and its successors as the interest of such designees shall appear. In addition Tenant agrees and shall provide thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of suspension, cancellation, termination, or non-renewal of coverage to Landlord. Tenant shall not self-insure for any insurance coverage required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease. The deductible for any insurance policy required hereunder must not exceed $10,000.00.

(c) Certificates of Insurance. Prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of insurance evidencing all insurance Tenant is obligated to carry under this Lease, together with a copy of the endorsement(s), specifically but not limited to Waiver of Rights to Recover From Others, Additional Insureds (on-going and completed operations) and Contractual Liability endorsements.

Tenant’s certificates of insurance must be on: (i) Xxxxx Form 27 with respect to property insurance; and (ii) Xxxxx Form 25-S with respect to liability insurance or, in each case, on successor forms approved by Landlord, and in any event state as the certificate holder: Compliance Services Corporation, on behalf of Normandy Real Estate Partners, LLC, X.X. Xxx 0000, Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, XX 00000.

(d) No Separate Insurance. Tenant shall not obtain or carry separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required by Section 14(a) unless Landlord is named as an additional insured therein.

(e) Tenant’s Failure to Maintain Insurance. If Tenant fails to maintain the insurance required by this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain, and pay the premiums for, such insurance. Upon demand, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all amounts paid by Landlord pursuant to this Section 14(e).

(f) Landlord’s Insurance.

Landlord agrees promptly to notify tenant of any cancellation or non-renewal of any such required policy except to the extent that simultaneously therewith Landlord obtains replacement coverage satisfying the foregoing requirements.

15. Subrogation.

Landlord and Tenant agree to have all property insurance policies which are required to be carried by either of them hereunder endorsed to provide that the insurer waives all rights of subrogation which such insurer might have against the other party and Landlord’s mortgagee, if any. By this clause, the parties intend and hereby agree that the risk of loss or damage to property shall be borne by the parties’ insurance carriers. It is hereby agreed that Landlord and Tenant shall look solely to, and seek recovery from, only their respective insurance carriers in the event a loss is sustained for which Property Insurance is carried or is required to be carried under this Lease. Without limiting any release or waiver of liability or recovery contained in any other Section of this Lease but rather in confirmation and furtherance thereof, Landlord waives all claims for recovery from Tenant, and Tenant waives all claims for recovery from Landlord, and their respective agents, partners and employees, for any loss or damage to any of its property insured under the insurance policies required hereunder including but not limited to any business interruption, loss of income or special, indirect or consequential damages. The provisions of this Section 15 will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

16. Casualty Damage.

If all or any portion of the Premises becomes untenantable by fire or other casualty to the Premises (collectively a “Casualty”), Landlord within forty-five (45) days after the occurrence of the Casualty shall cause a general contractor selected by Landlord to provide Landlord and Tenant with a good faith written estimate of the amount of time required using standard working methods to Substantially Complete the repair and restoration of the Premises and any Common Areas necessary to provide access to the Premises (“Completion Estimate”). If the Completion Estimate indicates that the Premises or any Common Areas necessary to provide access to the Premises cannot be made tenantable within two hundred ten (210) days from the date of the Casualty, then either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to the other within ten (10) days after receipt of the Completion Estimate. Tenant, however, shall not have the right to terminate this Lease if the Casualty was caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Related Parties. In addition, Landlord, by notice to Tenant within ninety (90) days after the date of the Casualty, shall have the right to terminate this Lease if: (1) the Premises have been materially damaged and there is less than two (2) years of the Term remaining on the date of the Casualty; (2) any Mortgagee requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to the payment of the mortgage debt; or (3) a material uninsured loss to the Building occurs.

16.01 If this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, restore the Premises and Common Areas. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition that existed prior to the Casualty, except for modifications required by Law or any other modifications to the Common Areas deemed desirable by Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience to Tenant, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from the Casualty or the repair thereof. The Rent shall xxxxx for the portion of the Premises that is untenantable and not used by Tenant for such period of time as the Premises or such portion shall be untenantable. In addition to Landlord’s right to terminate as provided herein, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease if: (a) a substantial portion of the Premises has been damaged by fire or other Casualty and such damage cannot reasonably be repaired within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Completion Estimate; (b) there is less than one (1) year of the Term remaining on the date of such Casualty; (c) the Casualty was not caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its agents, employees or contractors; and (d) Tenant provides Landlord with written notice of its intent to terminate within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Completion Estimate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant was entitled to but elected not to exercise its right to terminate the Lease and Landlord does not substantially complete the repair and restoration of the Premises within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the estimated period of time set forth in the Completion Estimate, which period shall be extended (but not by more than thirty (30) days in the aggregate) to the extent of any Reconstruction Delays (hereinafter defined), then Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord within 15 days after the expiration of such period, as the same may be extended. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Reconstruction Delays” shall mean: (i) any delays caused by the insurance adjustment process; (ii) any delays caused by Tenant (that Tenant does not cure within one (1) day after written notice to Tenant identifying the delay); and (iii) any delays caused by events of Force Majeure. If Tenant so elects, then this Lease shall terminate on the date that is thirty (30) days after Tenant delivers such termination notice to Landlord, with the same force and effect as if such day were the last day of the Term of the Lease, unless Landlord substantially completes such restoration on or before the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, in which event Tenant’s election to terminate shall become void.

17. Condemnation.

Either party may terminate this Lease if any material part of the Premises is taken or condemned for any public or quasi public use under Law, by eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking”), Landlord shall also have the right to terminate this Lease if there is a Taking of any portion of the Building or Property which would have a material adverse effect on Landlord’s ability to profitably operate the remainder of the Building. The terminating party shall provide written notice of termination to the other party within forty-five (45) days after it first receives notice of the Taking. The termination shall be effective on the date the physical taking occurs. If this Lease is not terminated, Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall be appropriately adjusted to account for any reduction in the square footage of the Building or Premises. All compensation awarded for a Taking shall be the property of Landlord. The right to receive compensation or proceeds are expressly waived by Tenant, however, Tenant may file a separate claim for Tenant’s Property, the unamortized cost (amortized over the initial Term of this Lease) of the Initial Alterations, net of the Allowance and Tenant’s reasonable relocation expenses, provided the filing of the claim does not diminish the amount of Landlord’s award. If only a part of the Premises is subject to a Taking and this Lease is not terminated, Landlord, with reasonable diligence, will restore the remaining portion of the Premises and the Property as nearly as practicable to the condition immediately prior to the Taking.

18. Events of Default.

Each of the following occurrences shall be a “Default”: (a) Tenant’s failure to pay any portion of Rent when due, if the failure continues for ten (10) days after written notice to Tenant (“Monetary Default”); (b) Tenant’s failure (other than a Monetary Default) to comply with any term, provision, condition or covenant of this Lease, if the failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice to Tenant provided, however, if Tenant’s failure to comply cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, Tenant shall be allowed additional time (not to exceed ninety (90) days) as is reasonably necessary to cure the failure so long as Tenant begins the cure within ten (10) days after such notice to Tenant and diligently pursues the cure to completion; (c) Tenant or any Guarantor becomes insolvent, makes a transfer in fraud of creditors, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, admits in writing its inability to pay its debts when due or forfeits or loses its right to conduct business; (d) the leasehold estate is taken by process or operation of Law; or (e) in the case of any ground floor or retail Tenant, Tenant does not take possession of or abandons or vacates all or any portion of the Premises. All notices sent under this Section shall be in satisfaction of, and not in addition to, notice required by Law.

19. Remedies.

19.01 Upon Default, Landlord shall have the right to pursue any one or more of the following remedies:

(a) Terminate this Lease, in which case Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises, Landlord, in compliance with Law, may enter upon and take possession of the Premises and remove Tenant, Tenant’s Property and any party occupying the Premises. Tenant shall pay Landlord, on demand, all past due Rent and other losses and damages Landlord suffers as a result of Tenant’s Default, including, without limitation, all Costs of Reletting (defined below) and any deficiency that may arise from reletting or the failure to relet the Premises. “Costs of Reletting” shall include all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in reletting or attempting to relet the Premises, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees, brokerage commissions, the cost of alterations and the value of other commercially reasonable concessions or allowances granted to a new tenant.

(b) Terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and, in compliance with Law, remove Tenant, Tenant’s Property and any parties occupying the Premises. Landlord may (but, except as expressly provided below, shall not be obligated to) relet all or any part of the Premises, without notice to Tenant, for such period of time and on such terms and conditions (which may include concessions, free rent and work allowances) as Landlord in its absolute discretion shall determine. Landlord may collect and receive all rents and other income from the reletting. Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand all past due Rent, all Costs of Reletting and any deficiency arising from the reletting or failure to relet the Premises. The re-entry or taking of

possession of the Premises shall not be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises on such terms as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine (including a term different from the Term, rental concessions, and alterations to, and improvement of, the Premises). Landlord shall not be liable for, nor shall Tenant’s obligations hereunder be diminished because of, Landlord’s failure to relet the Premises or to collect rent due for such reletting. Marketing of Tenant’s Premises in a manner similar to the manner in which Landlord markets other premises within Landlord’s control in the Building shall be deemed to have satisfied Landlord’s obligation to use “reasonable efforts.” In no event shall Landlord be required to (i) solicit or entertain negotiations with any other prospective tenants for the Premises until Landlord obtains full and complete possession of the Premises including, without limitation, the final and unappealable legal right to re-let the Premises free of any claim of Tenant, (ii) relet the Premises before leasing other vacant space in the Building, (iv) lease the Premises for a rental less than the current fair market rental then prevailing for similar office space in the Building, or (iv) enter into a lease with any proposed tenant that does not have, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, sufficient financial resources or operating experience to operate the Premises in a first-class manner.

19.02 In lieu of calculating damages under Section 19.01, Landlord may elect to calculate damages as the sum of (a) all Rent accrued through the date of termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, and (b) an amount equal to the total Rent that Tenant would have been required to pay for the remainder of the Term discounted to present value, minus the then present fair rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the Term, similarly discounted, after deducting all anticipated Costs of Reletting. If Tenant is in Default of any of its non-monetary obligations under the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to perform such obligations. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such performance upon demand together with an administrative charge equal to ten percent (10%) of the cost of the work performed by Landlord. The repossession or re-entering of all or any part of the Premises shall not relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations under this Lease. No right or remedy of Landlord shall be exclusive of any other right or remedy. Each right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right and remedy now or subsequently available to Landlord at Law or in equity.

20. Limitation of Liability.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE, THE LIABILITY OF LANDLORD (AND OF ANY SUCCESSOR LANDLORD) SHALL BE LIMITED TO LANDLORD’S INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY FOR THE RECOVERY OF ANY JUDGMENT OR AWARD AGAINST LANDLORD OR ANY LANDLORD RELATED PARTY. NEITHER LANDLORD NOR ANY LANDLORD RELATED PARTY SHALL BE PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR ANY JUDGMENT OR DEFICIENCY, AND IN NO EVENT SHALL LANDLORD OR ANY LANDLORD RELATED PARTY BE LIABLE TO TENANT FOR ANY LOST PROFIT, DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANY FORM OF SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE. BEFORE FILING SUIT FOR AN ALLEGED DEFAULT BY LANDLORD, TENANT SHALL GIVE LANDLORD AND THE MORTGAGEE(S) WHOM TENANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED HOLD MORTGAGES (DEFINED IN SECTION 23 BELOW), NOTICE AND REASONABLE TIME TO CURE THE ALLEGED DEFAULT(WHICH SHALL NOT EXCEED 60 DAYS).

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, IN NO EVENT SHALL LANDLORD OR ANY MORTGAGEES OR LANDLORD RELATED PARTIES EVER BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OR ANY LOST PROFITS OF TENANT. ADDITIONALLY, IN NO EVENT SHALL TENANT OR ANY TENANT RELATED PARTIES EVER BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OR ANY LOST PROFITS OF LANDLORD OR ANY LANDLORD RELATED PARTY. THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT LIMIT LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO RECOVER DAMAGES IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 22 HEREOF AS A RESULT OF THE HOLDOVER BY TENANT IN THE PREMISES BEYOND THE TERM OF THE LEASE.

LANDLORD AND TENANT EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY THAT THE PREMISES ARE SUITABLE FOR TENANT’S INTENDED COMMERCIAL PURPOSE, AND, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS LEASE, TENANT’S OBLIGATION TO PAY RENT HEREUNDER IS NOT DEPENDENT UPON THE CONDITION OF THE PREMISES OR THE PERFORMANCE BY LANDLORD OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, TENANT SHALL CONTINUE TO PAY THE RENT, WITHOUT ABATEMENT, SETOFF OR DEDUCTION, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY BREACH BY LANDLORD. OF ITS DUTIES OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED FOR PURPOSES HEREOF, “INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN THE PROPERTY” SHALL INCLUDE RENTS DUE FROM TENANTS, INSURANCE PROCEEDS, AND PROCEEDS FROM CONDEMNATION OR EMINENT DOMAIN PROCEEDINGS (PRIOR TO THE DISTRIBUTION OF SAME TO ANY PARTNER OR SHAREHOLDER OF LANDLORD OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY).

NO TENANT RELATED PARTY (OTHER THAN TENANT ITSELF) SHALL BE PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR ANY OBLIGATIONS OF TENANT UNDER THIS LEASE.

21. Intentionally Omitted.

22. Holding Over.

If Tenant fails to surrender all or any part of the Premises at the termination of this Lease, occupancy of the Premises after termination shall be that of a tenancy at sufferance. Tenant’s occupancy shall be subject to all the terms and provisions of this Lease, and Tenant shall pay an amount (on a per month basis without reduction for partial months during the holdover) equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent plus 100% of Additional Rent due for the period immediately preceding the holdover. No holdover by Tenant or payment by Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall be construed to extend the Term or prevent Landlord from immediate recovery of possession of the Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise. If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to a new tenant or to perform improvements for a new tenant as a result of Tenant’s holdover for more than sixty (60) days, Tenant shall be liable for all damages that Landlord suffers from the holdover.

23. Subordination to Mortgages; Estoppel Certificate.

Tenant accepts this Lease subordinate to any mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust, ground lease(s) or other lien(s) now or subsequently arising upon the Premises, the Building or the Property, and to renewals, modifications, refinancings and extensions thereof (collectively referred to as a “Mortgage”). The party having the benefit of a Mortgage shall be referred to as a “Mortgagee”. This clause shall be self-operative, but upon request from a Mortgagee, Tenant shall execute a commercially reasonable subordination agreement in favor of the Mortgagee. As an alternative, a Mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease. Upon request, Tenant, without charge, shall attorn to any successor to Landlord’s interest in this Lease, provided, however, that the subordination of this Lease to any mortgage or ground lease entered into after the date of this Lease shall be upon the express condition that so long as Tenant is not in Default of the Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant’s possession and enjoyment of the Premises and Tenant’s rights under this Lease shall not be disturbed or interfered with in the event of a foreclosure of such mortgage or lease or the exercise of any rights thereunder. Landlord and Tenant shall each, within ten (10) days after receipt of a written request from the other, execute and deliver a commercially reasonable estoppel certificate to those parties as are reasonably requested by the other (including a Mortgagee or prospective purchaser). Without limitation, such estoppel certificate may include a certification as to the status of this Lease, the existence of any Defaults and the amount of Rent that is due and payable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreement (“SNDA”) from Landlord’s current Mortgagee on such Mortgagee’s current standard form of agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit H. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant will execute the Mortgagee’s form of SNDA and return the same to Landlord for execution by the Mortgagee.

As of the date hereof, a list of such designations and the text for the Executive Order are published under the internet website address xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxx/xxxx. If Landlord transfers its interest under this Lease, whether by sale of the Land or Building or by assignment or by other means (including any transfer by operation of law), and the transferee, assignee or other successor to Landlord’s interest (collectively, “Landlord Transferee”) is not a subsidiary or affiliate of Landlord, then, in

connection with such transfer, the Landlord Transferee shall, upon the written request of Tenant, warrant and represent to Tenant, at the time of such transfer, each of the foregoing warranties and representations set forth above. If Tenant transfers its interest under this Lease, by assignment or by other means (including any transfer by operation of law), and the transferee, assignee or other successor to Tenant’s interest (collectively, “Tenant Transferee”) is not a subsidiary or affiliate of Tenant, then, in connection with such transfer, the Tenant Transferee shall, upon the written request of Landlord, warrant and represent to Landlord, at the time of such transfer, each of the foregoing warranties and representations set forth above.

28. Parking.

Landlord shall provide, at no additional charge, as appurtenant to the Premises, non- reserved vehicle access to the surface parking lot located adjacent to the Building at a ratio of 3.6 vehicle spaces per each 1,000 rentable square feet of the Premises (i.e., non-reserved parking for fifty-two (52) motor vehicles based upon the Tenant’s occupancy of 14,541 rentable square feet; the foregoing referred to herein as “Tenant’s Parking”). Tenant’s Parking shall be nontransferable (directly or indirectly) to any other institutions, entities or individuals.

Landlord shall not be responsible for money, jewelry, automobiles or other personal property lost in or stolen from the parking lot.

Except for emergency repairs, Tenant and its employees shall not perform any work on any automobiles while located in the parking lot.

Tenant’s Parking shall be subject to such reasonable rules and regulations therefor as may be set and changed with reasonable prior notice by the Landlord from time to time and uniformly enforced by Landlord during the Term. Landlord agrees that such rules and regulations shall be established and applied by Landlord in a non-discriminatory fashion, such that all rules and regulations shall be generally applicable to all other tenants of the Building of a similar nature of Tenant. Tenant’s Parking is non-assignable and intended solely for the use of Tenant’s employees working from and business invitees to the Premises; and as such Tenant shall not offer them for “use” or “license” to any other entity, the general public, or any other tenants of the Building. All such appurtenant rights for parking as set forth in this Section are automatically terminated upon termination of this Lease, and shall have no separate independent validity or legal standing. Landlord reserves the right to relocate and/or temporarily close any or all of the parking facilities to the extent necessary in the event of a casualty or governmental taking or for maintenance and repairs of the parking facility provided Landlord shall reopen the same or provide replacement parking facilities as soon as practicable thereafter.

1. Payments.

1.01. Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the amount (the “Expense Excess”), if any, by which Expenses (defined below) for each calendar year during the Term exceed Expenses for the Base Year and also the amount (the “Tax Excess”), if any, by which Taxes (defined below) for each Fiscal Year during the Term exceed Taxes for the Base Year. If Expenses or Taxes in any calendar year or Fiscal Year decrease below the amount of Expenses or Taxes for the Base Year, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Expenses or Taxes, as the case may be, for that calendar year or Fiscal Year shall be $0. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a good faith estimate of the Expense Excess and of the Tax Excess for each calendar year or Fiscal Year during the Term. On or before the first day of each month, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a monthly installment equal to one-twelfth of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Landlord’s estimate of both the Expense Excess and Tax Excess. After its receipt of the revised estimate, Tenant’s monthly payments shall be based upon the revised estimate. If Landlord does not provide Tenant with an estimate of the Expense Excess or the Tax Excess by January 1 of a calendar year, Tenant shall continue to pay monthly installments based on the previous year’s estimate(s) until Landlord provides Tenant with the new estimate.

1.02. Within one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each calendar year or Fiscal Year, as the case may be, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a statement of the actual Expenses and Expense Excess and the actual Taxes and Tax Excess for the prior calendar year or Fiscal Year, as the case may be. If Landlord fails to include any item of Expenses paid or incurred in any calendar year, which failure continues for more than eighteen (18) months after delivery of such Expenses statement to Tenant, then Landlord shall forfeit the right to include any such item(s) in Expenses for such year. If the estimated Expense Excess or estimated Tax Excess for the prior calendar year or Fiscal Year, as the case may be, is more than the actual Expense Excess or actual Tax Excess for the prior calendar year or Fiscal Year, as the case may be, Landlord shall either provide Tenant with a refund or apply any overpayment by Tenant against Additional Rent due or next becoming due, provided if the Term expires before the determination of the overpayment, Landlord shall refund any overpayment to Tenant after first deducting the amount of Rent due. If the estimated Expense Excess or estimated Tax Excess for the prior calendar year or Fiscal Year, as the case may be, is less than the actual Expense Excess or actual Tax Excess, for such prior calendar year or Fiscal year, as the case may be, for such prior year, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the statement of Expenses or Taxes, any underpayment for the prior calendar year.

2.03.

If Expenses for a calendar year are determined as provided in the prior sentence, Expenses for the Base Year shall also be determined in such manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may calculate the extrapolation of Expenses under this Section based on 100% occupancy and service so long as such percentage is used consistently for each year of the Term including, without limitation, the Base Year. The extrapolation of Expenses under this Section shall be performed in accordance with the methodology specified by the Building Owners and Managers Association.

2.04. Taxes. “Taxes” shall mean: (a) all real property taxes and other assessments on the Building and/or Property, including, but not limited to, gross receipts taxes, assessments for special improvement districts and building improvement districts, governmental charges, fees and assessments for police, fire, traffic mitigation or other governmental service of purported benefit to the Property, taxes and assessments levied in substitution or supplementation in whole

If Landlord secures an abatement or refund of any Taxes for any tax period, Tenant shall receive Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such abatement or refund (i.e., the net amount remaining after paying all reasonable costs and expenses of securing the abatement or refund, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, provided that contingent attorneys’ fees shall be considered reasonable), not to exceed the Tax Excess paid or payable by Tenant for such tax period. The provisions of the preceding sentence shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Without limitation, Taxes shall not include any income, capital levy, transfer, capital stock, gift, estate or inheritance tax. If a change in Taxes is obtained for any year of the Term during which Tenant paid Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of any Tax Excess, then Taxes for that year will be retroactively adjusted and Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit, if any, based on the adjustment. Likewise, if a change is obtained for Taxes for the Base Year, Taxes for the Base Year shall be restated and the Tax Excess for all subsequent years shall be recomputed. Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of any such increase in the Tax Excess within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of a statement from Landlord. If Landlord fails to include any item of Taxes paid or incurred in any fiscal tax year, which failure continues for more than two (2) years after delivery of such Taxes statement to Tenant, then Landlord shall forfeit the right to include any such item(s) in Taxes for such fiscal tax year.

Tenant, within one hundred twenty (120) days after receiving Landlord’s statement of Expenses, may give Landlord written notice (“Review Notice”) that Tenant intends to review Landlord’s records of the Expenses for the calendar year to which the statement applies. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Review Notice, Landlord shall make all pertinent records available for inspection that are reasonably necessary for Tenant to conduct its review. If any records are maintained at a location other than the management office for the Building, Tenant may either inspect the records at such other location or pay for the reasonable cost of copying and shipping the records. If Tenant retains an agent to review Landlord’s records, the agent must be with a CPA firm or another qualified professional licensed to do business in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; provided, however, that no examiner or agent of Tenant shall be retained on a contingent fee basis. Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs, expenses and fees incurred for the audit. Within ninety (90) days after the records are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord written notice (an “Objection Notice”) stating in reasonable detail any objection to Landlord’s statement of Expenses for that year. If Tenant fails to give Landlord an Objection Notice within the ninety- (90)-day period or fails to provide Landlord with a Review Notice within the one hundred twenty (120) -day period described above, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved Landlord’s statement of Expenses and shall be barred from raising any claims regarding the Expenses for that year. The records obtained by Tenant shall be treated as confidential. In no event shall Tenant be permitted to examine Landlord’s records or to dispute any statement of Expenses unless Tenant has paid and continues to pay all Rent when due. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord and Tenant determine that Expenses for the Building for the year in

B-5

EXHIBIT C

WORK LETTER

This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Lease by and between NORMANDY XXXXXXXXX ROAD, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (“Landlord”) and OXFORD IMMUNOTEC, INC., a Delaware corporation, (“Tenant”) for space in the Building located at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000.

1. Alterations and Allowance.

A. Tenant, following the delivery of the Premises by Landlord as per Section 3 of the Lease, and the full and final execution and delivery of the Lease to which this Exhibit is attached and all prepaid rental and security deposits required under such agreement, shall have the right to perform alterations and improvements in the Premises (the “Initial Alterations”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant and its contractors shall not have the right to perform Initial Alterations in the Premises unless and until Tenant has complied with all of the terms and conditions of Section 9 of the Lease, including, without limitation, approval by Landlord of the final plans for the Initial Alterations and the contractors to be retained by Tenant to perform such Initial Alterations. Landlord shall, at Tenant’s request, prior to the Execution Date of this Lease, pre-approve, or disapprove, as the case may be, the contractor to be retained by Tenant in the performance of the Initial Alterations. Landlord’s consent is solely for the benefit of Landlord, and neither Tenant nor any third party shall have the right to rely on Landlord’s consent, or its approval of Tenant’s plans, for any purpose whatsoever. Tenant shall be responsible for all elements of the design of Tenant’s plans (including, without limitation, compliance with law, functionality of design, the structural integrity of the design, the configuration of the premises and the placement of Tenant’s furniture, appliances and equipment), and Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans shall in no event relieve Tenant of the responsibility for such design. Landlord’s approval of the contractors to perform the Initial Alterations shall not be unreasonably withheld. The parties agree that Landlord’s approval of the general contractor to perform the Initial Alterations shall not be considered to be unreasonably withheld if any such general contractor (i) does not have trade references reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (ii) does not maintain insurance as required pursuant to the terms of this Lease, (iii) does not have the ability to be bonded for the work in an amount of no less than 150% of the total estimated cost of the Initial Alterations, (iv) does not provide current financial statements reasonably acceptable to Landlord, or (v) is not licensed as a contractor in the state/municipality in which the Premises is located. Tenant acknowledges the foregoing is not intended to be an exclusive list of the reasons why Landlord may reasonably withhold its consent to a general contractor.

B. Provided Tenant is not in Default, Landlord agrees to contribute the sum of Five Hundred Eighty-One Thousand Six Hundred Forty and 00/100 Dollars ($581,640.00) (the “Allowance”) toward the cost of performing the Initial Alterations in preparation of Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises. Except as provided in the next sentence, the Allowance may only be used for hard costs in connection with the Initial Alterations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to apply up to Fifty Thousand Eight Hundred Ninety- Three and 50/100 Dollars ($50,893.50) of the Allowance towards the soft costs incurred in connection with the Initial Alterations, including, without limitation, the costs of

C-1

telecommunications and furniture and equipment. The Allowance, less a 10% retainage (which retainage shall be payable as part of the final draw upon completion of the Initial Alterations), shall be paid to Tenant or, at Landlord’s option, to the order of the general contractor that performs the Initial Alterations, in periodic disbursements within 30 days after receipt of the following documentation: (i) an application for payment and sworn statement of contractor substantially in the form of AIA Document G-702 covering all work for which disbursement is to be made to a date specified therein; (ii) a certification from an AIA architect substantially in the form of the Architect’s Certificate for Payment which is located on AIA Document G702, Application and Certificate of Payment; (iii) Contractor’s, subcontractor’s and material supplier’s waivers of liens which shall cover all Initial Alterations for which disbursement is being requested and all other statements and forms required for compliance with the mechanics’ lien laws of the state in which the Premises is located, together with all such invoices, contracts, or other supporting data as Landlord or Landlord’s Mortgagee may reasonably require; (iv) a cost breakdown for each trade or subcontractor performing the Initial Alterations; (v) plans and specifications for the Initial Alterations, together with a certificate from an AIA architect that such plans and specifications comply in all material respects with all laws affecting the Building, Property and Premises; (vi) copies of all construction contracts for the Initial Alterations, together with copies of all change orders, if any; and (vii) a request to disburse from Tenant containing an approval by Tenant of the work done and a good faith estimate of the cost to complete the Initial Alterations. Upon completion of the Initial Alterations, and prior to final disbursement of the Allowance, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with: (1) general contractor and architect’s completion affidavits, (2) full and final waivers of lien from all subcontractors with subcontracts in excess of $25,000.00, (3) receipted bills covering all labor and materials expended and used, (4) as-built plans of the Initial Alterations, and (5) the certification of Tenant and its architect that the Initial Alterations have been installed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the approved plans, and in accordance with applicable laws, codes and ordinances. In no event shall Landlord be required to disburse the Allowance more than one time per month. If the Initial Alterations exceed the Allowance, Tenant shall be entitled to the Allowance in accordance with the terms hereof, but each individual disbursement of the Allowance shall be disbursed in the proportion that the Allowance bears to the total cost for the Initial Alterations, less the 10% retainage referenced above. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to disburse any portion of the Allowance during the continuance of an uncured Default under the Lease, and Landlord’s obligation to disburse shall only resume when and if such Default is cured.

C. Landlord shall have no obligation to pay the Allowance in respect of any request for payment submitted after November 30, 2014 (“Outside Date”). Tenant shall not be entitled to any unused portion of the Allowance after the earlier to occur of substantial completion of the Initial Alterations and the Outside Date, other than to the next installment(s) of Base Rent due under the Lease, or toward the purchase of furniture. Tenant shall be responsible for all applicable state sales or use taxes, if any, payable in connection with the Initial Alterations and/or Allowance.

D. Tenant agrees to accept the Premises in its “as-is” condition and configuration, and the Building in its condition as required under the Lease, it being agreed that Landlord shall not be required to perform any work or, except as provided above with respect to the Allowance (and Landlord’s Plan Contribution, as set forth below), incur any costs in connection with the construction or demolition of any improvements in the Premises.

C-2

E. This Exhibit shall not be deemed applicable to any additional space added to the Premises at any time or from time to time, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, or to any portion of the original Premises or any additions to the Premises in the event of a renewal or extension of the original Term of the Lease, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, unless expressly so provided in the Lease or any amendment or supplement to the Lease.

2. Plans Allowance.

Landlord shall contribute up to One Thousand Four Hundred Fifty-Four and 10/100 Dollars ($1,454.10) (i.e., $0.10 per rentable square foot of the Premises) (“Landlord’s Plan Contribution”) towards the cost of a preliminary space plan for the purpose of test-fitting the Premises. Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt of written demand from Tenant accompanied by third party invoices evidencing such cost, pay the Landlord’s Plan Contribution to Tenant.

3. Tenant’s Right to Terminate.

If (a) Tenant is not able to obtain a Building Permit for the Initial Alterations to the Premises within sixty (60) days of the Execution Date as a result of a failure of Landlord to reasonably cooperate with Tenant’s efforts to secure such Building Permit (provided, however, that Landlord’s obligation to cooperate shall be limited to executing a building permit application and related documentation that is consistent with the final plans approved by Landlord as provided herein), or (b) if Tenant is not able to secure an Occupancy Permit within (10) days after completion of the Initial Alterations to the Premises as a result of a condition of the Building or Premises, other than the Initial Alterations, for which Landlord is responsible, then, in either such case, Tenant at its option may, at any time after the applicable deadline has expired and before the applicable condition has been satisfied, elect to terminate this Lease by giving Landlord notice of such election, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the reason(s) for such termination. If Tenant so elects, then this Lease shall terminate on the date that is thirty (30) days after delivery of Tenant’s termination notice to Landlord with the same force and effect as if such date were the last day of the term hereof, unless, on or before the expiration of such thirty-day period, Landlord cures the failure that was the ground of the termination, in which event Tenant’s election to terminate shall automatically become void. For purposes of this section, Landlord shall be deemed to have reasonably cooperated if Landlord responds to requests from Tenant within 5 days of the date of the request.

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Lease by and between NORMANDY XXXXXXXXX ROAD, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (“Landlord”) and OXFORD IMMUNOTEC, INC., a Delaware corporation, (“Tenant”) for space in the Building located at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000.

1.	EXTENSION OPTION

Xxxxx of Option; Conditions. Tenant shall have, subject to the following terms and conditions, the right to extend the Term (the “Extension Option”) for one (1) additional period of five (5) years, commencing on November 1, 2018, and ending on October 31, 2023 (the “Extension Term”), if:

(i)

Landlord receives notice of exercise (“Initial Extension Notice”) not later than February 1, 2018, and not earlier than November 1, 2017; and

(ii)

Tenant is not in Default under the Lease at the time that Tenant delivers its Initial Extension Notice, or at the time Tenant delivers its Binding Notice (as defined below); and

(iii)

More than 50% of the Premises is sublet (other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, as defined in Section 11 of the Lease) at the time that Tenant delivers its Initial Extension Notice, or at the time Tenant delivers its Binding Notice.

Terms Applicable to Premises During Extension Term.

(i)

The Lease of the Premises for the Extension shall be upon all of the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Lease for the initial Term, except that (a) Tenant shall have no further option to extend the Term, and (b) the initial Base Rent rate per rentable square foot for the Premises during the Extension Term shall equal to the Prevailing Market rate (hereinafter defined) per rentable square foot for the Premises. Base Rent during the Extension Term may increase in accordance with the increases assumed in the determination of Prevailing Market rate. Base Rent attributable to the Premises shall be payable in monthly installments in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 4 of the Lease.

(ii)

Tenant shall pay Additional Rent (i.e., Taxes and Expenses) for the Premises during the Extension Term in accordance with the terms of Section 4 of the Lease, and the manner and method in which Tenant reimburses Landlord for Tenant’s share of Taxes and Expenses and the Base Year, if any, applicable to such matter, shall be some of the factors considered in determining the Prevailing Market rate for the Extension Term.

F-5

Initial Procedure for Determining Prevailing Market. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s Initial Extension Notice, Landlord shall advise Tenant of the applicable Base Rent rate for the Premises for the Extension Term. Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after the date on which Landlord advises Tenant of the applicable Base Rent rate for the Extension Term, shall either (i) give Landlord final binding written notice (“Binding Notice”) of Tenant’s exercise of its Extension Option, or (ii) if Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination, provide Landlord with written notice of rejection (the “Rejection Notice”). If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with either a Binding Notice or Rejection Notice within such fifteen-(15)-day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have provided a Rejection Notice. If Tenant provides a Binding Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into the Extension Amendment (as defined below) upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. If Tenant provides or is deemed to have provided Landlord with a Rejection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to agree upon the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises during the Extension Term. Upon agreement, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into the Extension Amendment in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord and Tenant fail to agree upon the Prevailing Market rate within thirty (30) days after the date Tenant provides Landlord with the Rejection Notice, then the Prevailing Market rate shall be determined in accordance with the arbitration procedures described in Section D below.

Arbitration Procedure.

(i)

If Landlord and Tenant have failed to reach agreement as to the Prevailing Market rate within thirty (30) days after the date of the Rejection Notice, then, within five (5) days after the expiration of such thirty-(30)-day period, Landlord and Tenant shall each simultaneously submit to the other, in a sealed envelope, its good faith estimate of the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises during the Extension Term (collectively referred to as the “Estimates”). If the higher of such Estimates is not more than 105% of the lower of such Estimates, then Prevailing Market rate shall be the average of the two Estimates. If the Prevailing Market rate is not resolved by the exchange of Estimates, then, within seven (7) days after the exchange of Estimates, Landlord and Tenant shall each select an appraiser to determine which of the two Estimates most closely reflects the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises during the Extension Term. Each appraiser so selected shall be certified as an MAI appraiser or as an ASA appraiser and shall have had at least five (5) years’ experience within the previous ten (10) years as a real estate appraiser working in the Boston MetroWest rental market, with working knowledge of current rental rates and practices. For purposes hereof, an “MAI” appraiser means an individual who holds an MAI designation conferred by, and is an

F-6

independent member of, the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (or its successor organization, or in the event there is no successor organization, the organization and designation most similar), and an “ASA” appraiser means an individual who holds the Senior Member designation conferred by, and is an independent member of, the American Society of Appraisers (or its successor organization, or, in the event there is no successor organization, the organization and designation most similar).

(ii)

Upon selection, Landlord’s and Tenant’s appraisers shall work together in good faith to agree upon which of the two Estimates most closely reflects the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises. The Estimate chosen by such appraisers shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant as the Base Rent rate for the Premises during the Extension Term. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an appraiser within the seven-(7)-day period referred to above, and such failure continues for three (3) Business Days after written notice thereof, the appraiser appointed by the other party shall be the sole appraiser for the purposes hereof. If the two appraisers cannot agree upon which of the two Estimates most closely reflects the Prevailing Market within twenty (20) days after their appointment, then, within ten (10) days after the expiration of such twenty-(20)-day period, the two appraisers shall select a third appraiser meeting the aforementioned criteria. Once the third appraiser (i.e. arbitrator) has been selected as provided for above, then, as soon thereafter as practicable but in any case within fourteen (14) days, the arbitrator shall make his determination of which of the two Estimates most closely reflects the Prevailing Market rate and such Estimate shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant as the Base Rent for the Premises. If the arbitrator believes that expert advice would materially assist him, he may retain one or more qualified persons to provide such expert advice. The parties shall share equally in the costs of the arbitrator and of any experts retained by the arbitrator. Any fees of any appraiser, counsel or experts engaged directly by Landlord or Tenant, however, shall be borne by the party retaining such appraiser, counsel or expert.

(iii)

If the Prevailing Market rate has not been determined by the commencement date of the Extension Term, Tenant shall pay Base Rent upon the terms and conditions in effect during the last month of the initial Term for the Premises until such time as the Prevailing Market rate has been determined. Upon such determination, the Base Rent for the Premises shall be retroactively adjusted to the commencement of the Extension Term for the Premises. If such adjustment results in an underpayment of Base Rent by Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of such underpayment within thirty (30) days after the determination thereof.

F-7

Extension Amendment. If Tenant is entitled to and properly exercises its Extension Option, Landlord shall prepare an amendment (the “Extension Amendment”) to reflect changes in the Base Rent, Term, Termination Date and other appropriate terms as mutually agreed by the parties. The Extension Amendment shall be sent to Tenant within a reasonable time after receipt of the Binding Notice, or Rejection Notice, as the case may be, and Tenant shall execute and return the Extension Amendment to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt of same, but, upon delivery of the Initial Extension Notice, an otherwise valid exercise of the Extension Option shall be fully effective whether or not the Extension Amendment is executed.

Prevailing Market. For purposes hereof, “Prevailing Market” shall mean the arm’s length fair market annual rental rate per rentable square foot under extension leases and amendments entered into on or about the date on which the Prevailing Market is being determined hereunder for space comparable to the Premises in the Building and office buildings comparable to the Building in the Boston/MetroWest rental market. The determination of Prevailing Market shall take into account any material economic differences between the terms of this Lease and any comparison lease or amendment, such as, but not limited to, rent abatements, construction costs and other concessions and the manner, if any, in which the landlord under any such lease is reimbursed for operating expenses and taxes.

2.	RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

Xxxxx of Option; Conditions. Tenant shall have the one time right of first refusal (the “Right of First Refusal”) with respect to any space on the second (2nd) floor of the Building which is adjacent to the Premises (the “Refusal Space”). Tenant’s Right of First Refusal shall be exercised as follows: when Landlord has a prospective tenant, other than the existing tenant in the Refusal Space, (the “Prospect”) interested in leasing the Refusal Space, Landlord shall advise Tenant (the “Advice”) of the terms under which Landlord is prepared to lease the Refusal Space to such Prospect and Tenant may lease the Refusal Space, under such terms, by providing Landlord with written notice of exercise (the “Notice of Exercise”) within five (5) Business Days after the date of the Advice, except that Tenant shall have no such Right of First Refusal and Landlord need not provide Tenant with an Advice if:

(i)

Tenant is in Default under the Lease at the time that Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; or

(ii)

More than 25% of the Premises is sublet (other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, as defined in Section 11 of the Lease) at the time Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; or

(iii)

the Refusal Space is not intended for the exclusive use of Tenant during the Term.

F-8

Terms of Refusal Space.

(i)

The term for the Refusal Space shall commence upon the commencement date stated in the Advice and thereupon such Refusal Space shall be considered a part of the Premises, provided that all of the terms stated in the Advice, including the termination date set forth in the Advice, shall govern Tenant’s leasing of the Refusal Space and only to the extent that they do not conflict with the Advice, the terms and conditions of the Lease shall apply to the Refusal Space. Tenant shall pay Base Rent and Additional Rent for the Refusal Space in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Advice.

(ii)

The Refusal Space (including improvements and personalty, if any) shall be accepted by Tenant in its condition and as-built configuration existing on the earlier of the date Tenant takes possession of the Refusal Space or the date the term for such Refusal Space commences, unless the Advice specifies work to be performed by Landlord in the Refusal Space, in which case Landlord shall perform such work in the Refusal Space. If Landlord is delayed delivering possession of the Refusal Space due to the holdover or unlawful possession of such space by any party, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain possession of the space, and the commencement of the term for the Refusal Space shall be postponed until the date Landlord delivers possession of the Refusal Space to Tenant free from occupancy by any party.

Termination of Right of First Refusal. The rights of Tenant hereunder with respect to the Refusal Space shall terminate on the earlier to occur of (i) Tenant’s failure to exercise its Right of First Refusal within the five (5) Business Day period provided in Section A above; and (ii) the date Landlord would have provided Tenant an Advice if Tenant had not been in violation of one or more of the conditions set forth in Section A above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant fails to exercise its Right of First Refusal within the five (5) Business Day period provided in Section A above, Landlord shall not lease the Refusal Space to another party at a Net Effective Rent (defined below) that is less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Net Effective Rent set forth in the Advice without first giving Tenant another Advice at such lower net effective rent, in which event Tenant shall have an additional Right of First Refusal as provided above with respect to such new Advice. As used herein, the term “Net Effective Rent” shall mean the net present value of the rent, additional rent, and other charges that would be payable to Landlord under the terms of any proposed lease for the Refusal Space thereof, taking into account any construction allowance, the cost of any leasehold improvements proposed to be performed by Landlord, any free rent, and any other monetary inducements payable by Landlord under such proposed lease.

F-9

Refusal Space Amendment. If Tenant exercises its Right of First Refusal, Landlord shall prepare an amendment (the “Refusal Space Amendment”) adding the Refusal Space to the Premises on the terms set forth in the Advice and reflecting the changes in the Base Rent, Rentable Square Footage of the Premises, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share and other appropriate terms. A copy of the Refusal Space Amendment shall be sent to Tenant within a reasonable time after Landlord’s receipt of the Notice of Exercise executed by Tenant, and Tenant shall execute and return the Refusal Space Amendment to Landlord within fifteen (15) days thereafter, but an otherwise valid exercise of the Right of First Refusal shall be fully effective whether or not the Refusal Space Amendment is executed.

Subordination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant’s Right of First Refusal is subject and subordinate to (i) the renewal or extension rights of any tenant leasing all or any portion of the Refusal Space, and (ii) the expansion rights (whether such rights are designated as a right of first offer, right of first refusal, expansion option or otherwise) of any tenant of the Building existing on the date hereof.

3.	TERMINATION OPTION

Tenant shall have the right (“Termination Right”) to terminate the Term of the Lease, effective as of September 30, 2016 (the “Effective Termination Date”), by giving Landlord a written termination notice (“Tenant’s Termination Notice”) on or before January 1, 2016, and by paying to Landlord, at the time that Tenant gives Tenant’s Termination Notice, the Termination Fee, as hereinafter defined. If Tenant timely and properly exercises its Termination Right, and pays to Landlord the Termination Fee, then the Term of the Lease shall terminate as of the Effective Termination Date, and Base Rent and other charges shall be apportioned as of said Effective Termination Date.

For the purposes hereof, the “Termination Fee” shall be equal to $392,920.76.

If Tenant timely and properly exercises its Termination Right and pays to Landlord the Termination Fee, then the Term of the Lease shall terminate as of the Effective Termination Date, and Base Rent and other charges shall be apportioned as of said Effective Termination Date. If Tenant fails timely to give Tenant’s Termination Notice, or to pay the Termination Fee, Tenant shall have no right to terminate the Term of the Lease, pursuant to this Section 3.

4.	ROOF SPACE FOR DISH/ANTENNA

Tenant shall have the right, without payment of Rent by Tenant, to lease space on the roof of the Building for the purpose of installing (in accordance with Section 9 of the Lease), operating and maintaining a twenty-four (24) inch dish/antenna or other communication device approved by the Landlord (the “Dish/Antenna”). The exact location of the space on the roof to be leased by Tenant shall be designated by Landlord and shall not exceed ten (10) square feet (the “Roof Space”). Landlord reserves the right to relocate the Roof Space as reasonably necessary during the Term. Landlord’s designation shall take into account

F-10

Tenant’s use of the Dish/Antenna. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s right to install the Dish/Antenna shall be subject to the approval rights of Landlord and Landlord’s architect and/or engineer with respect to the plans and specifications of the Dish/Antenna, the manner in which the Dish/Antenna is attached to the roof of the Building and the manner in which any cables are run to and from the Dish/Antenna. The precise specifications and a general description of the Dish/Antenna along with all documents Landlord reasonably requires to review the installation of the Dish/Antenna (the “Plans and Specifications”) shall be submitted to Landlord for Landlord’s written approval no later than 20 days before Tenant commences to install the Dish/Antenna. Tenant shall be solely responsible for obtaining all necessary governmental and regulatory approvals and for the cost of installing, operating, maintaining and removing the Dish/Antenna. Tenant shall notify Landlord upon completion of the installation of the Dish/Antenna. If Landlord determines that the Dish/Antenna equipment does not comply with the approved Plans and Specifications, that the Building has been damaged during installation of the Dish/Antenna or that the installation was defective, Landlord shall notify Tenant of any noncompliance or detected problems and Tenant immediately shall cure the defects. If the Tenant fails to immediately cure the defects, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand the cost, as reasonably determined by Landlord, of correcting any defects and repairing any damage to the Building caused by such installation. If at any time Landlord, in its sole discretion, deems it necessary, Tenant shall provide and install, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, appropriate aesthetic screening, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, for the Dish/Antenna (the “Aesthetic Screening”).

Landlord agrees that Tenant, upon reasonable prior written notice to Landlord, shall have access to the roof of the Building and the Roof Space for the purpose of installing, maintaining, repairing and removing the Dish/Antenna, the appurtenances and the Aesthetic Screening, if any, all of which shall be performed by Tenant or Tenant’s authorized representative or contractors, which shall be approved by Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and risk. It is agreed, however, that only authorized engineers, employees or properly authorized contractors of Tenant, FCC (defined below) inspectors, or persons under their direct supervision will be permitted to have access to the roof of the Building and the Roof Space. Tenant further agrees to exercise firm control over the people requiring access to the roof of the Building and the Roof Space in order to keep to a minimum the number of people having access to the roof of the Building and the Roof Space and the frequency of their visits.

It is further understood and agreed that the installation, maintenance, operation and removal of the Dish/Antenna, the appurtenances and the Aesthetic Screening, if any, is not permitted to damage the Building or the roof thereof, or interfere with the use of the Building and roof by Landlord. Tenant agrees to be responsible for any damage caused to the roof or any other part of the Building, which may be caused by Tenant or any of its agents or representatives.

F-11

If, in the sole judgment of Landlord, any electrical, electromagnetic, radio frequency or other interference shall result from the operation of any of the Dish/Antenna, Tenant agrees that Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, shut down Tenant’s equipment upon 8 hours prior notice to Tenant; provided, however, if an emergency situation exists, which Landlord reasonably determines in its sole discretion to be attributable to the Dish/Antenna, Landlord shall immediately notify Tenant orally, who shall act immediately to remedy the emergency situation. Should Tenant fail to so remedy said emergency situation, Landlord may then act to shut down Tenant’s equipment. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord and hold it harmless from, and Tenant waives, all expenses, costs, damages, losses, claims or other liabilities arising out of said shutdown. Tenant agrees to cease operations (except for intermittent testing on a schedule approved by Landlord) until the interference has been corrected to the satisfaction of Landlord. If such interference has not been corrected within 30 days, Landlord may require that Tenant immediately remove from the Roof Space the specific item of equipment causing such interference, in which latter case the Dish/Antenna Payments shall be reduced by the portion of the fee applicable to such Dish/Antenna equipment for the remainder of the Term and all other terms and conditions of this Amendment shall remain in full force and effect.

Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, and at its sole risk, install, operate and maintain the Dish/Antenna in a good and workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all Building, electric, communication, and safety codes, ordinances, standards, regulations and requirements, now in effect or hereafter promulgated, of the Federal Government, including, without limitation, the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”), the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) or any successor agency of either the FCC or FAA having jurisdiction over radio or telecommunications, and of the state, city and county in which the Building is located. Tenant shall cooperate generally with Landlord and other carriers to permit the Building’s rooftop to be and remain in compliance with all FCC and OSHA rules and regulations relating to radio frequency emission levels and maximum permissible exposure, including but not limited to the rules and regulations adopted in FCC document OET 65 (which rules and regulations have also been adopted by OSHA). If applicable, Tenant shall (i) reimburse Landlord for Tenant’s equitable share of the cost of conducting an initial survey to ensure that the Building’s rooftop is in compliance with all FCC and OSHA rules and regulations for all carriers (a “Rooftop Survey”), and (ii) to the extent the Dish/Antenna or the operation thereof causes the Building’s rooftop (or any section thereof) to not be in compliance with such rules and regulations, Tenant shall promptly remedy any such non-compliance in accordance with Landlord’s directions and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. In the event that Tenant (x) relocates or makes any change to the Dish/Antenna located in the Roof Space or (y) makes any change to the Dish/Antenna or operation thereof which directly or indirectly affects the operation of Dish/Antenna located in the Roof Space, Landlord may, at its option, require that a new Rooftop Survey be conducted at Tenant’s sole cost and expense by an EME firm approved by Landlord in its reasonable discretion. If Tenant believes that the

F-12

Dish/Antenna is excluded from coverage under FCC and OSHA rules and regulations, Tenant shall demonstrate to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction that any such Dish/Antenna is so excluded. Under this Lease, the Landlord and its agents assume no responsibility for the licensing, operation and/or maintenance of Tenant’s equipment. The Dish/Antenna shall be connected to Landlord’s power supply in strict compliance with all applicable Building, electrical, fire and safety codes. Neither Landlord nor its agents shall be liable to Tenant for any stoppages or shortages of electrical power furnished to the Dish/Antenna or the Roof Space because of any act, omission or requirement of the public utility serving the Building, or the act or omission of any other tenant, invitee or licensee or their respective agents, employees or contractors, or for any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any rental abatement for any such stoppage or shortage of electrical power. Neither Landlord nor its agents shall have any responsibility or liability for the conduct or safety of any of Tenant’s representatives, repair, maintenance and engineering personnel while in or on any part of the Building or the Roof Space.

The Dish/Antenna, the appurtenances and the Aesthetic Screening, if any, shall remain the personal property of Tenant, and shall be removed by Tenant at its own expense at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession hereunder. Tenant shall repair any damage caused by such removal, including the patching of any holes to match, as closely as possible, the color surrounding the area where the equipment and appurtenances were attached. Tenant agrees to maintain all of the Tenant’s equipment placed on or about the roof or in any other part of the Building in proper operating condition and maintain same in satisfactory condition as to appearance and safety in Landlord’s sole discretion. Such maintenance and operation shall be performed in a manner to avoid any interference with any other tenants or Landlord. Tenant agrees that at all times during the Term, it will keep the roof of the Building and the Roof Space free of all trash or waste materials produced by Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees or contractors.

In light of the specialized nature of the Dish/Antenna, Tenant shall be permitted to utilize the services of its choice for installation, operation, removal and repair of the Dish/Antenna, the appurtenances and the Aesthetic Screening, if any, subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant must provide Landlord with prior written notice of any such installation, removal or repair and coordinate such work with Landlord in order to avoid voiding or otherwise adversely affecting any warranties granted to Landlord with respect to the roof. If necessary, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall retain any contractor having a then existing warranty in effect on the roof to perform such work (to the extent that it involves the roof), or, at Tenant’s option, to perform such work in conjunction with Tenant’s contractor. In the event the Landlord contemplates roof repairs that could affect Tenant’s Dish/Antenna, or which may result in an interruption of the Tenant’s telecommunication service, Landlord shall formally notify Tenant at least 30 days in advance (except in cases of an emergency) prior to the commencement of such contemplated work in order to allow Tenant to make other arrangements for such service.

F-13

Tenant shall not allow any provider of telecommunication, video, data or related services (“Communication Services”) to locate any equipment on the roof of the Building or in the Roof Space for any purpose whatsoever, nor may Tenant use the Roof Space and/or Dish/Antenna to provide Communication Services to an unaffiliated tenant, occupant or licensee of another building, or to facilitate the provision of Communication Services on behalf of another Communication Services provider to an unaffiliated tenant, occupant or licensee of the Building or any other building.

Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may at some time establish a standard license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with respect to the use of roof space by tenants of the Building. Tenant, upon request of Landlord, shall enter into such License Agreement with Landlord provided that such agreement does not materially alter the rights of Tenant hereunder with respect to the Roof Space.

Tenant specifically acknowledges and agrees that the terms and conditions of Section 13 of the Lease (Indemnity and Waiver of Claims) shall apply with full force and effect to the Roof Space and any other portions of the roof accessed or utilized by Tenant, its representatives, agents, employees or contractors.

If Tenant defaults under any of the terms and conditions of this Section or the Lease, and Tenant fails to cure said default within the time allowed by Section 18 of the Lease, Landlord shall be permitted to exercise all remedies provided under the terms of the Lease, including removing the Dish/Antenna, the appurtenances and the Aesthetic Screening, if any, and restoring the Building and the Roof Space to the condition that existed prior to the installation of the Dish/Antenna, the appurtenances and the Aesthetic Screening, if any. If Landlord removes the Dish/Antenna, the appurtenances and the Aesthetic Screening, if any, as a result of an uncured default, Tenant shall be liable for all costs and expenses Landlord incurs in removing the Dish/Antenna, the appurtenances and the Aesthetic Screening, if any, and repairing any damage to the Building, the roof of the Building and the Roof Space caused by the installation, operation or maintenance of the Dish/Antenna, the appurtenances, and the Aesthetic Screening, if any.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED and in consideration for and as an inducement to NORMANDY XXXXXXXXX ROAD, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”) to lease certain real property to OXFORD IMMUNOTEC, LIMITED, a Delaware corporation, as tenant (“Tenant”), pursuant to a lease dated as of March 1, 2013 (the “Lease”) by and between Landlord and Tenant, the undersigned, OXFORD IMMUNOTEC, LIMITED, a United Kingdom company (“Guarantor”), does hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee to Landlord the punctual payment of all Rent (as such term is defined in the Lease) payable by Tenant under the Lease throughout the term of the Lease and any and all renewals and extensions thereof in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Lease, and the full performance and observance of all other terms, covenants, conditions and agreements therein provided to be performed and observed by Tenant under the terms of the Lease, for which the undersigned shall be jointly and severally liable with Tenant. If any Default on the part of Tenant shall occur under the Lease, the undersigned does hereby covenant and agree to pay to Landlord in each and every instance such sum or sums of money and to perform each and every covenant, condition and agreement under the Lease as Tenant is and shall become liable for or obligated to pay or perform under the Lease, together with the costs reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees. Such payments of Rent and other sums shall be made monthly or at such other intervals as the same shall or may become payable under the Lease, including any accelerations thereof, all without requiring any notice from Landlord (other than any notice required by the Lease) of such non-payment or non performance, all of which the undersigned hereby expressly waives.

The maintenance of any action or proceeding by Landlord to recover any sum or sums that may be or become due under the Lease and to secure the performance of any of the other terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease shall not preclude Landlord from thereafter instituting and maintaining subsequent actions or proceedings for any subsequent Default or Defaults of Tenant under the Lease. The undersigned does hereby consent that without affecting the liability of the undersigned under this Guaranty and without notice to the undersigned, time may be given by Landlord to Tenant for payment of Rent and such other sums and performance of said other terms, covenants and conditions, or any of them, and such time extended and indulgence granted, from time to time, or Tenant may be dispossessed or Landlord may avail itself of or exercise any or all of the rights and remedies against Tenant provided by law or by the Lease, and may proceed either against Tenant alone or jointly against Tenant and the undersigned or against the undersigned alone without first prosecuting or exhausting any remedy or claim against Tenant. The undersigned does hereby further consent to any subsequent change, modification or amendment of the Lease as agreed by the parties in any of its terms, covenants or conditions, or in the Rent payable thereunder, or in the premises demised thereby, or in the term thereof, and to any assignment or assignments of the Lease, and to any subletting or sublettings of the premises demised by the Lease, and to any renewals or extensions thereof, all of which may be made without notice to or consent of the undersigned and without in any manner releasing or relieving the undersigned from liability under this Guaranty.

The undersigned does hereby agree that the bankruptcy of Tenant shall have no effect on the obligations of the undersigned hereunder. The undersigned does hereby further agree that in respect of any payments made by the undersigned hereunder, the undersigned shall not have any rights based on suretyship, subrogation or otherwise to stand in the place of Landlord so as to compete with Landlord as a creditor of Tenant, unless and until all claims of Landlord under the Lease shall have been fully paid and satisfied.

Neither this Guaranty nor any of the provisions hereof can be modified, waived or terminated, except by a written instrument signed by Landlord. The provisions of this Guaranty shall apply to, bind and inure to the benefit of the undersigned and Landlord and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. The undersigned, if there be more than one, shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder, and for purposes of such several liability the word “undersigned” wherever used herein shall be construed to refer to each of the undersigned parties separately, all in the same manner and with the same effect as if each of them had signed separate instruments, and this Guaranty shall not be revoked or impaired as to any of such parties by the death of another party or by revocation or release of any obligations hereunder of any other party. If Landlord should retain counsel and/or institute any suit against Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty or any covenants or obligations hereunder, then Guarantor shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, court costs, filing fees, recording costs, and all other costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (all of which are referred to herein as “Enforcement Costs”), in addition to all other amounts due hereunder. This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the state where the premises demised by the Lease are located. For the purpose solely of litigating any dispute under this Guaranty, the undersigned submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of said state.

Any notice or other communication to be given to Landlord or the undersigned hereunder shall be in writing and sent in accordance with the notice provisions of the Lease. Notices to Landlord shall be delivered to Landlord’s address as set forth in the Lease. Notices to the undersigned shall be addressed as follows: Oxford Immunotec, Limited, 00X Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx, XX00 0XX, U.K. If Guarantor’s notice address as set forth above changes, Guarantor agrees to provide written notice to Landlord of such change in address.
